I wonder where the idea of the site and the design came from
Let's check the sources page.... http://digthefalls.com/sources/ nope... not those people.

yeah, I'm sure #4 on that list was VERY helpful.

Should you also be very interested in the fact that it looks eerily similar to nyhistoric?
I don't know... I know next to nothing about website design. Maybe its a common template you can pick up from somewhere.

yeah.. it does... that's the first thing i saw about it.
it's the very same template... it's not common though... there are really thousands of templates... and hundreds of platforms to choose for a website. Just happens to be a NY Waterfall website that sprung up using the NYH template 3 months after launching NYH. Go figure.

I would say the joke's on them. :heehee:

Yeah seriously, I wonder why they would go through the "effort" of making this site when it provides VERY little information at all.

Matt, the highest compliment is when someone tries to copy/compete with, your idea. Except it is a rather weak attempt.

I laughed when I saw that they used papyrus. The top of his photography website isn't that great either. Bad typography.
